Staring over a new journey - a journey into the world of Fluid Simulation...

Exploration of Mantaflow - the heart of a Fluid Simulation software

Hey Human of Universe, today I am again starting over my journey as a Computer Scientist - this time to explore the world of Fluid Simulation.

I created this development environment for studying Mantaflow many months back - now again - I am becoming active as a Computer Scientist - the real me - an engineer - from inside the core.

We have taken two options for Fluid Simulation - one is Mantaflow and the Other is Flip Fluid addon.

The development environment is ready for both.

Here are some of the necessary knowledge sharing about the two

What is the difference between Blender's Mantaflow fluid simulator and the FLIP Fluids addon?

The FLIP Fluids addon and Mantaflow are both FLIP-based simulators. Mantaflow is the new fluid simulation system that was introduced into Blender 2.82. 'FLIP' is the name of a simulation technique that is popular for simulating fluids and is also found in many other professional liquid simulation tools.

Although Mantaflow and the FLIP Fluids addon both use the FLIP simulation technique, they are very different in what features are available, how features were implemented, and how the projects are developed. Mantaflow is a simulation tool for creating both liquid and gaseous/smoke simulation effects. Our FLIP Fluids project focuses strictly on liquid fluid simulation and we put a large development effort into reliability, stability, learning resources, and workflow features to help you create beautiful liquid simulation effects as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

So me and my son - Ridit - an 11 yrs old boy of Bharat - are starting with Mantaflow - will post updates on this new journey - gradually...
